Nothing Shall Separate Us From His Love ( Romans 8:35-39 )

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:35-39

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Awesome isn't is to say with all boldness we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. You know who that Him is, that is Jesus Chris our Lord and Savior. No matter how tough the battle you may be going through remember the war has already been won. Over two thousand years ago on Calvary Jesus Christ did that for us so that we can claim victory and receive salvation. You know some people think and have this idea that Christians have an easy life well just in case anyone does I'm here to inform that's wrong. In fact in the sermon on the mount Jesus made it clear that the Christian life wasn't easy,but it was the way to live( Matthew 7:14 ).

Then as I read the last two verses about how nothing not angels, not heights, depths, death,life, present, or anything can separate us from God's love. Isn't that awesome to know that His love reaches so far. You know some people get to point in their life and don't think God can forgive them or that they have done something so wrong how can they ever be used by God. I'm here to let you know the Apostle Paul before becoming the Apostle to the gentiles was killing Christians. So yes God can use anyone and all a person needs to do is come to God with a heart wide open, asking God clean them out and fill them anew( Romans 12:2 ).


For anyone reading this tonight who has not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior I invite you to do so. Ask Him into your heart and admit your sinner in need of His forgiveness. Be real with Him and cast all your worries, doubts, and fears at His feet, the feet of mercy for He cares for you ( 1 Peter 5:7 ). Repent of your old ways and find your identity in Jesus Christ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ). Don't let your past or not being perfect get in the way( Psalm 103:12, Romans 3:23 ). Instead cast yourself upon His mercy( Luke 18:13 ). Remember He is waiting on you with arms wide open( John 3:16 ). In those arms you will find love( John 15:13 ), mercy ( Romans 5:6-8 ), forgiveness( 1 John 1:9 ), and a grace that is sufficient ( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). Will you choose Him ? Will you let Him set you free from the bonds of sin( John 8:36 )? I encourage you to do so. This is the single greatest choice you will ever make. It is a matter of life and death, life and death eternal( John 3:18 ). Don't wait, make the choice tonight( Matthew 24:36 )!


God bless,
